I've got other fixes in various states, but I'm rather bottlenecked since I have no means to submit patches, commit changes, clean up Trac, etc. As a note on this fix, some of the functional tests need work as they're very brittle.

I've submitted this as an Instiki bug (http://dev.instiki.org/ticket/348). You could run Instiki behind Apache via a proxy config (e.g. Apache http://host:80/wiki/... proxies to http://host:3000/wiki/...). This can be quite snappy if you run Instiki with lighttpd instead of WEBrick. This arrangement is quite common on shared webhosting providers. You'll need to swap out Instiki's script/server with the stock one from a current rails install, as Instiki's script/server is a customized, pre-lighty script. If lighty's not an option, you could also try WEBrick in this setup to see if its performance is acceptable for your needs. -- John On Jun 1, 2006, at 8:23 AM, Gary Barlow wrote: > Does anyone host instiki v0.11.0 on Apache 2? > I understand this should be possilbe but can't get it to work!

If there are bugs you'd like to see fixed sooner rather than later, please let me know. If there's an outstanding ticket in Instiki's Trac (http://dev.instiki.org/) that you can refer to, that would be helpful. A few items to get things rolling: * Easing migration for folks moving to 0.11.x A lot of outstanding bugs in Trac are fixed in 0.11.x, e.g. export and so on. Dealing with any upgrade problems and simplicity is therefore a top priority. * Resurrecting the Mac OS X package for the 0.11.x series Another upgrade blocker for some users. This is critical to ease of use and setup for OS X users. * Proper toolbar icon for OS X Instiki.app I have a candidate icon already; submissions are welcome. -- John From csimonut at gmail.com Thu Jun 1 17:00:20 2006 From: csimonut at gmail.com (Christian Simonutti) Date: Thu, 1 Jun 2006 23:00:20 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Instiki] published version In-Reply-To: <5542F362-3DE8-4510-9700-7FEC8A208DDE@acm.org> References: <20060527221903.GC27978@hias.happyhacking.at> <5542F362-3DE8-4510-9700-7FEC8A208DDE@acm.org> Message-ID: <56132.62.178.208.147.1149195620.squirrel@localdomain.at> Hi John, thank you for the response.

I'm running instiki with WEBrick behind an Apache configured with two virtual hosts (no mod_rewrite) as described at http://www.instiki.org/show/HowToUseInstikiAsWebSite: *.mydomain.com: ProxyPass /wiki/published/ http://localhost:2500/wiki/published/ ProxyPass / http://localhost:2500/wiki/published/ ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:2500/wiki/published/ edit.mydomain.com ProxyPass / http://localhost:2500/ ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:2500/ I think the main problem is the combination of mod_proxy and /published/ in the Url, because that causes wrong Urls to be generated: 1) !/images/imagename.gif! the Url works in "normal" mode, but with /wiki/published the Url is wrong and produces a 404: /wiki/published/images/imagename.gif (should be /images/imagename.gif) 2) The same error occures with rss-Feeds. mod_proxy inserts /wiki/published/ and it also produces a 404. I think this is a conceptional problem with this kind of setup (or in general?). Maybe a quick solution would be to get rid '/published' and render a published version (at the same url) if the wiki is - configured for published mode and - the user is not logged in These kind of errors do not occur when going directly to the WEBrick server, with no Apache in front. Sometimes caching works strange. Start instiki with caching disabled and edit a page. It work as expected. Afterwards start instiki with caching enabled, you wont see the change you made when caching was disabled. Switch between caching enabled and disabled and always edit a page. The change made when caching was disabled will not be shown when startet with caching enabled afterwards. (I hope you understand what I mean, hard to describe.) Don't think, this is the correct behaviour. Regards, Simon -------------- next part -------------- An embedded and charset-unspecified text was scrubbed...

Clean install of Instiki 0.11 w/ruby 1.8.4 (bundled in my app) gives me the "undefined method `files_path' for nil:NilClass" error, which has been previously mentioned on this list already. Recommendations were to install SWIG package and my question is to help me confirm this and (if this is indeed the case) bundle SWIG with Instiki package for Mac OS X. Another hint I could take is how to make all this (Instiki.app + ruby + swig) into a Universal Binary.

To reiterate: the error "undefined method `files_path' for nil:NilClass" is ActiveRecord complaining, ultimately because the DB- backend (in this case sqlite3) is broken. SWIG is definitely required for sqlite3 on OS X. I've even filed a bug against DarwinPorts for the missing depends on the rb-sqlite3 port on this very topic... Let me know if you have success with adding SWIG; I'll look into what we can do to offer Universal Binary support. It would help if you can outline your current packaging steps. For example, do you custom build all of the required executables and libraries? Or can you just copy over from a third-party installation such as DarwinPorts? -- John From msm at uwnet.nl Fri Jun 2 17:07:44 2006 From: msm at uwnet.nl (Meindert Meindertsma) Date: Fri, 02 Jun 2006 23:07:44 +0200 Subject: [Instiki] is there a config to enable file uploads?

Create this (temporary) hyperlink in your wiki page: upload this (or in Textile: "upload this":http:/mywiki/files/myFig.png). After submitting the page, click on the new link. If any myFig.png graphics comes up in your browser: bad luck, this file already exists on the server -- try another name. But when you're more fortunate, you'll get the upload page you longed for. Fill in the form (the original filename doen't have to be "myFig.png"), and your file will be transferred to the server -- actually to public/mywiki/files/ -- as myFig.png. Now you can remove the hyperlink from your wiki page and replace it by something like (in Textile: !/mywiki/files/myFig.png!), or whatever you want. There is a restriction. The destination *has* to be the mywiki/files/ folder. Any other location (like images/, mywiki/files/someSubdirectory/ or mywiki/somePeerdirectory/) won't invoke the upload page. This worked for me on Windows 2000 + Ruby 1.8.4 + Instiki 0.11.0 + WEBrick, and I guess it will work for anyone using Instiki 0.11.0. Meindert Meindertsma.

The Apple Developer site has an article on building a Framework (in the OS X development sense) from OSS software[1]. But I think the work has already been done for us... Look at what the Locomotive team has done. Locomotive (http:// locomotive.sourceforge.net/) is an entirely self-contained Ruby+Rails +libraries+gems system for Mac OS X designed to give an instant- install environment for Rails development. They have virtually identical installation needs (actually, a superset) as Instiki does, yet there's just one .app bundle (like Instiki.app) and both Intel and PowerPC support. It's possible that you could just directly integrate their rails112.locobundle + Instiki's OS X front-end + the Instiki rails installation. If that simplifies things as much as I think it might, it earns a "Powered by Locomotive" link somewhere prominent.. ;-) It might also be possible to use an Instiki-minimal subset of the rails112 bundle. Their main site appears to be down right now, so I can't get any info as to whether we could easily customize their packaging + build system. -- John [1] http://developer.apple.com/opensource/ opensourceuniversalframework.html From msm at uwnet.nl Sat Jun 3 18:09:38 2006 From: msm at uwnet.nl (Meindert Meindertsma) Date: Sun, 04 Jun 2006 00:09:38 +0200 Subject: [Instiki] is there a config to enable file uploads?

Your THERE ends with: "Question ? how do you reupload a file?" It seems that physical items, once placed, can never ever be removed or changed, by anyone (accept for the owner of the wiki). The only way I can think of, is doing your own version control. If your first uploaded file was called "myPreciousFile.ext", the next version of that file could be "myPreciousFileV2.ext" or something like that, and so on. Regrettably all links to the previous version have to be renamed. Yes, manually. I was thinking about the documentation too, but just thinking. The outcome so far: there should be a good outline for the documentation, that can be filled and expanded with the knowledge of the developpers, user experiences et cetera. Even inside the relatively small-sized iniki.org it's not always easy to find the existing information. However, I didn't get myself into really designing such an outline, but some ideas rose. A. Operational instructions. Many systems are covered by (1) a user's manual and (2) a complete reference. Since Instiki is a zero-dot-something contraption, it's too early for that, I think. Better maybe: (a) a primer, like the one on instiki.org, with a few extras (like an explanation of the [[WikiWord|a more fancy expression]] construction) and (b) some kind of "conjuring book", rather comprehensive, containing a plethora of tricks, known problems, workarounds, how to upload pictures, how to import other wikis, how to repair some database inconsistencies (not so orphaned orphan pages for instance), how to customize your wiki, et cetera. B. Technical documentation. Theoretically, anyone can write it, since the source is open, and there are some fine publications on Ruby and Rails. From the simple user's point of view, I don't want to wish to know about technical details, but if that's the only way to get things done... And then, this mailinglist (and other places?) deserves scanning on relevant material for our documentation. How to prevent different people doing the same work? Are we waiting for each other? Well, at least the first step has been made. Meindert Meindertsma.

I see. I've screwed up myself a bit by keeping essentially 2 versions of Instiki 0.11 on my Mac - one is an upgrade of 0.10.2 and another one is a straight build of my Xcode project. Upgraded one works ok (it uses my system-wide ruby with sqllite module built with SWIG) but the build suffers from this 'files_path' issue because it uses a self-contained ruby package. > SWIG is definitely required for sqlite3 on OS X.

As mentioned above I had success adding SWIG, just didn't realize it was required for every build (really stupid of me) and de-installed it after first successful compilation. I'll try to include it into Instiki.app as well. As for the second question, I copy all custom pre-built executables and libraries from a separate directory during the packaging process in my Xcode project. -- Oleg "2sheds" Kourapov mailto:ok at 2sheds.ru http://www.2sheds.ru From ok at 2sheds.ru Mon Jun 5 03:08:22 2006 From: ok at 2sheds.ru (Oleg Kourapov) Date: Mon, 5 Jun 2006 11:08:22 +0400 Subject: [Instiki] Votes for urgent fixes?

Thanks for your help, including installation of swig. However, one crutial step that was still missing was the setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH in instiki.sh. You see the problem was that my default LD_LIBRARY_PATH did not have /usr/lib;/usr/local/lib in it. Now you might say that its pretty basic to check that if its true, but I beg to differ. My suggestion is that the next release README shuld include the instructions to check for the LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting. Punit mm. Doing an install on a Mac OS X 10.4.6 system with the following prequisites installled works just fine: * ruby 1.8.4 * the sqlite3-ruby gem * the sqlite3 libraries * swig (http://www.swig.org/) swig is required for sqlite3 *nix and Mac OS X systems, otherwise the sqlite3-ruby gem reverts to a broken pure ruby implementation. :-P My sequence for setup with the above prerequisites installed: 0) tar xzf instiki-0.11.0.tgz 1) cd instiki-0.11.0 2) rake environment RAILS_ENV=production db_schema_import 3) For Mac OS X/*nix: script/server -e production -p 2500 For Windows: instiki.cmd note that doing "rake ... db_schema_import" effectively does the same thing as "rake ... migrate", except that it does it in one step from schema.rb, and it creates/clears the sqlite3 db file as needed. At that point, I can connect to http://localhost:2500/ and I get the initial wiki page just fine. If you're still having trouble, please post what platform you're on (w.g. Win2k, etc.) and the precise steps you follow. I'll see if I can repro on a similar system. -- John -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: Thanks for your help Meindert, you may have given me a clue to my problem. I'm running my Instiki installation on using Apache mod_proxy to proxy to the WEBrick server port 2500. When I follow the file upload directions you've provided, I get a '404 File Not Found' from Apache. It appears to me that Instiki never gets to run the upload routine, because Apache sees the file doesn't exist and just sends back the 404 error?? Does the upload routine work for any others proxying Instiki through Apache? I'm running this on Win 2003 server, Apache 2.0.54, Ruby 1.84.17, Instiki 0.11, and /files/ exists in the Instiki web I'm working on. -Mike -----Original Message----- From: instiki-users-bounces at rubyforge.org [mailto:instiki-users-bounces at rubyforge.org] On Behalf Of Meindert Meindertsma Sent: Friday, June 02, 2006 5:08 PM To: instiki-users at rubyforge.org Subject: Re: [Instiki] is there a config to enable file uploads? Hi Mike, I didn't know how to upload either, until I found out by accident today. Lucky me. So here's a recipe. Let's say your wiki is called "mywiki" and you want to upload an image "myFig.png". Create this (temporary) hyperlink in your wiki page: upload this (or in Textile: "upload this":http:/mywiki/files/myFig.png). After submitting the page, click on the new link. If any myFig.png graphics comes up in your browser: bad luck, this file already exists on the server -- try another name. But when you're more fortunate, you'll get the upload page you longed for. Fill in the form (the original filename doen't have to be "myFig.png"), and your file will be transferred to the server -- actually to public/mywiki/files/ -- as myFig.png. Now you can remove the hyperlink from your wiki page and replace it by something like (in Textile: !/mywiki/files/myFig.png!), or whatever you want. There is a restriction. The destination *has* to be the mywiki/files/ folder. Any other location (like images/, mywiki/files/someSubdirectory/ or mywiki/somePeerdirectory/) won't invoke the upload page. This worked for me on Windows 2000 + Ruby 1.8.4 + Instiki 0.11.0 + WEBrick, and I guess it will work for anyone using Instiki 0.11.0. Meindert Meindertsma.

I'm a rank Instiki newbie but I do have access to a G5 for testing and debugging. If I can help, I will gladly do so. Let me know. I currently get the "undefined method `files_path' for nil:NilClass" error. I also get an error when I try to run rake as part of the installation process. I don't know if these are related.

I've also got some variants of the logo/icon work that I'll post up over the weekend. Here are the branches currently available: http://bangpath.org/bzr/instiki/trunk -- Mirror of the Instiki svn trunk, the base for all other branches http://bangpath.org/bzr/instiki/main -- a rollup of trunk + all fixes and feature work to-date http://bangpath.org/bzr/instiki/bug248 -- Fix and tests for bug 248 To get these, download and install the bzr 0.8.2 release from http:// bazaar-vcs.org/.

If you have a suspected or confirmed bug, I recommend checking out the RedCloth homepage, with links to the project page, mailing lists, etc.: http://whytheluckystiff.net/ruby/redcloth/ To the specific issue that you cite, I believe that your interpretation of Textile is incorrect in this case. All of the "block modifiers" must begin a paragraph. This is essentially all of the modifiers that end in a period, e.g. "hn.", "p.", "bq.", and so forth. Your example "-- p(link). blah" places the "p." after the start of the paragraph, so it (correctly) isn't recognized. Possible solutions are to start the paragraph with the "p." marker: p(#link). -- blah which produces: Or alternatively use a Textile span marker: -- %(#link)blah% to get:

I agree that Textile documentation (read: spec and tutorial material) needs improvement on this point and many others; this is a convention common to many lightweight markup languages of Textile's ilk, which is largely how they've gotten this far.

It does not use sqlite even though I have sqlite installed. I read in the README that there are plans to migrate to mysql. Is this whats happening with v 0.11.0? If so, how do I patch migrate to ask for the password? I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.

RoR applications get there db-config from config/database.yml. You have to setup the tables for instiki, if you switch the database. There are migrate-files under db/migrate, but I don't know if they describe the full schema used by instiki. How to use migrations is described here: * http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/UnderstandingMigrations * http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/UsingMigrations Hope that helps, Simon From jjshanks at gmail.com Thu Jun 22 16:54:59 2006 From: jjshanks at gmail.com (Joshua Shanks) Date: Thu, 22 Jun 2006 15:54:59 -0500 Subject: [Instiki] Instiki on Apache In-Reply-To: <84f0acdb0606121244o3d067d6dud4e12d6f208d6474@mail.gmail.com> References: <84f0acdb0606121244o3d067d6dud4e12d6f208d6474@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <84f0acdb0606221354u2b7d98cfx61da69f718b042df@mail.gmail.com> Finally got this work. Seems there was several problems. my hints run dispatch.fcgi from the command line to see if it works, also might want to go into debug mode "ruby -r debug dispatch.rb" to see what exceptions are being thrown. Usually you'll have to set up REQUEST_METHOD i did "export REQUEST_METHOD=GET" to get it to work. and then magically everything worked. its seems like there was a hump and that helped it get over it. also the usual double checking of permissions and database.yml files are important.

Well, main is defined as trunk + all other changes to date. I.e. trunk is the SVN mirror, while main contains all of the changes that aren't in SVN. For now, work on a branch of trunk and then I'll merge it into main. This pattern will only hold water for so long, eventually bugfix and/or feature work will start to have an increasing number of conflicts. But working off of trunk has the short-term advantage of making things easier to move into SVN for the moment. -- John From whitley at acm.org Wed Jun 28 20:23:17 2006 From: whitley at acm.org (John Whitley) Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2006 17:23:17 -0700 Subject: [Instiki] Missives from the front lines Message-ID: <5B11BB35-88A6-4B20-8780-34FA9475447B@acm.org> Hi all, Sorry to be so quiet lately; things are happening with Instiki, but I haven't been writing about them much lately.

When SWIG isn't present, sqlite3-ruby reverts to a broken pure Ruby implementation. Does 'port installed' show the swig port is present? If so, then you might try reinstalling the sqlite3-ruby gem. Give that a try; sorting out the SWIG issues will definitely sort out not being able to run and work with Instiki 0.11.0.

When trying to install/reinstall SWIG, after doing the ./configure as in the INSTALL instructions, when I try the "make" step I get this message: Build system is out of date. Please reconfigure (rerun: ./autogen.sh && ./configure) make[2]: *** [am--refresh] Error 1 make[1]: *** [Makefile.in] Error 1 make: *** [source] Error 2 I tried (rerun: ./autogen.sh && ./configure) to no avail (assuming that means to run and rerun those commands).

How do you have this gem installed? If a reinstall of the suspect gem doesn't work, then I recommend giving Locomotive a try. See http://locomotive.raaum.org/ for details and download. It's literally "Rails in a box" for OS X -- ruby, rails, gems, dependent libraries (including sqlite3) -- everything in one neat package that won't impact your existing Darwinports installation.

My first task was bug #270, "Export Errors", in which instiki, when *not* running via Webrick blows up when you click on the "Export" link on the front page. Here is what I have found: The offending line is in export.rhtml, here it is: <% if OPTIONS[:pdflatex] && @web.markup == :textile %> The problem is that "OPTIONS" is set in script/server, so that if you start instiki using anything other than webrick you get an error. The OPTIONS are the command-line options passed to Webrick on start. I use Mongrel, so I was seeing the error myself. I could try to fix it by getting the command-line options from the other servers (don't know how yet), or just removing the condition, but I would propose that instead of being a command line option, the setting of whether or not you support output to pdf and/or latex be wiki settings that could be set via the "Edit Web" page. I guess this could be a web-by-web setting, though it seems more like a wiki-wide setting to me.
